Ugly Pony Pouches
All outdoor & shower breyer/AR collector, knows that pony pouches are the basis.
I'm often asked about how I did pack my horses, the answer is: a great bubble wrap pouch.
But, recently, I acquired the official Breyer pony pouches, and the first thing to say is:
How ugly they are. Yes, I do LOVE all kind of kitsh, but to be honest, this is going way to far my tastes.
But, past this first look, they are really usefull:
-soft inside
-easy to carry
-with ugly but strong fabric
-I'm only not convinced about how THIN they are.
That's why I decided to have some more, thicker ones, and asked my mom' about sewing some more ;). (Because you know, moms are always better than you about that)
First, we'd have to choose fabrics, and I decided to match them with awfull ones...
My mom so did an awesome work... doing ugly homemade pony pouches...
And because she's perfect, she also made me different sizes, bigger than the breyer ones, to match my longer/heavier horses...
Do you know how much I LOVE my ugly pony pouches? As much as I've asked more to my mom, and bough another *awesome* fabric for them...
My mother already promess me she will need sunglasses to work on these new ones, not kidding.
Then, I need so say a BIG BIG THANKS YOU to her for those.

When I launched my Challenge, I used to receive a lot of enthousiastic mails.
But in the end, I only received 3 full complete challenge, that's why I decided to reward all of them,
for those who haven't saw them, there was:
My favorite of her pictures was this one:
It reminds my a painting by Alfred James Munnings, and you know HOW MUCH I love old paintings? In fact, it was kind of the thema for this whole challenge.
Congratz Cléclème, you catched the spirit!
She kindly asked me if she could participate, and of course the answer was yes. I was really excited about her final contribution!
My favorite of her pictures was this one:
And I must admit, I really don't know if it's a model or a real horse (and that's quite rare that I didn't figue it out), but the whole picture is awesome, perfect lighthning and movement.
And don't ya know Ulrike, I'm not really found of Christmas and traditional festivities, as much, I did prefer Halloween too ;).
Hard to pick my favorite, as I really loved two in particular.
But because, we are speaking of painting, this one is a perfect classic:
We could thinks this horse is really in side of his barn, fiery steed. Really love the colours and compo with the tree behind.

"Pomponette" Challenge
Pomponette, from France, in a few words:
>I first heard about Breyer Horses in 2013 on the Internet. I was looking for horse pictures and stumbled upon a strange picture of a horse looking quite realistic yet its rider was giving away the trick (ha ! Breyer riders...). Amused, I searched for the source and found a blog. A few days later I had already forgotten about it but a year later it came back to my mind and I redid some searches about these figures. And bought my first TR model : Sapphire. I got him for my birthday.
>Since I got my first model, I've always tried to craft some tack pieces and clothes and now I'd like to try customization. I'd also like to build a big 1/9 scale stable.
>I'd like to create a fiction about a vaulting school, which I'd call "Domaine Equestre du Montcamp".

"Ulrike" Challenge
Ulrike, from Germany, said:
>To the pictures 1, 2 and 3 I would like to write something:
I'm not a big friend of the year's festivals like Christmas and so on. If it really has to be such a thing; I find Halloween the most exciting.
For me the favorite events of the year are mostly connected with horses. For example every year I visit "Partner Pferd".
Apart from that, I enjoy the special occasions of the year especially in nature. I love the nature. The first colorful leaves in autumn; the first flood in spring ....
Or the first snow. The picture shows the first snow this year.

>10 years ago I spend a lot of time on the internet. But now there is
less and less time. Sometimes I dream of traveling around the world to
meet people from the hobby. taking photos, sculpting and painting
together. But that will probably remain a dream …
>Unfortunately i have no facebookpage or blog to submit my picture.
